He said it was his friend's house, not a workplace, so your theory is pretty weak.

He didn't say his IT wizard did something "like" geolocating the ISP, he said it was "almost identical" to geolocating the ISP.

Furthermore if there were some magical additional steps or wonderous circumstance that did bridge the gap between ISP-level geolocation and personal home address, he has absolutely no reason not to spell them out.

Unless he's lying.

You know, what's really fascinating about this whole thing is not why this guy would fabricate a dramatic story about him confronting a troll. That's easy to understand. It's why some people have such a powerful need to believe it. So much that they bend over backwards to find some exotic explanation around all the holes, rather than seeing them for what they are.
Personally I'd feel more in control if I could text him a special code to get in, than by remotely locking or unlocking my doors.

Remotely unlocking my doors? I feel unsafe already from the mere idea :) :) It'd be different for an office but there's an emotional thing with my home, I'd just be worried. If I lock it again, maybe the door was ajar and it couldn't lock? But I can't see because I'm not there!
Would love feedback? Ok, here it goes.

In my humble opinion your web site is really good - blog, colors, layout, testimonials, overall very coherent experience. Don't think you shall spend any more time here.

However, I would recommend that you gradually expand your stack - both languages and tools. Based on your completed projects and required expertise, I think that you are capable of more.

This is a false dichotomy, Apple is not suddenly forcing its engineers to study law.
Wow that was visionary! </sarcasm> if it wasnt for the fact that Alan Kay had invented the dynabook concept in 1968 and had cardboard prototype of an ipad in 1972. And he went and helped create that vision in xerox parc.

and later went to work for apple were jobs was able to copy more of his ideas.

So yeah what a prediction say in 1983 what Alan Kay invented in 1968.

You created a new account just to post this ignorant snark?

My Drupal knowledge is well out of date, but the indisputable fact that the Drupal architecture like all software architecture imposes assumptions, many many more assumptions than a low-level framework like Rails (which tries to keep its assumptions as broadly applicable to all HTTP usage as possible). These assumptions imply tradeoffs. If you think there are no tradeoffs you need to step back and realize that Drupal has corrupted your mind and the limits of your web development ability will be constrained by whatever ideas Drupal core is able to harvest and integrate from the wider world of web development.

Ah, yes, I've read the part about multiplying, and skipped over the real code. My bad.

The benefit would be there, if Dickens went one step further, and used Math.pow to get the result instead of loop (that is - assuming calculating the power is faster than doing a loop (but it should be - you can square a few times to get near the result instead of multiplying "by one factor" each time)).

It might not sound like much, but the differentiating factor is pretty much that it's all inside the browser. You get a professional live coding setup, and instant hosting environment, and all you need is a browser. You can access it anywhere; don't need to set anything up to use it; and it's the same setup on any computer or device you happen to be using.

Right now, web development is carried out with an array of disparate tools which vaguely connect to each other, if at all, plus you have to know how to set them up. pixelJET is not trying do anything new, or anything that can't be done by some existing combination of tools, but it brings them all together in an easy to use package, available anywhere in the world, on any browser.

I disagree. I think the best writers work precisely like the best coders. They don't compromise on a single letter, they ruthlessly rewrite and refactor their own work as many times as they need to, and they value simplicity, elegance, and effectiveness.

The main difference isn't the method, it's that writers usually get a lot more time to do their work.

Tangentially, I believe that learning to write better will make you a much better coder and communicator.

Yes, now imagine a mobile phone system with quality that couldn't even match that. People can usually tell you are calling from a mobile based on the quality of the call.

Skype is great, until about 1800-2000h. Then the quality turns to crap as everyone comes home, does netflix, bittorrent, youtube, etc. and saturates the bandwidth. Unlike most offices, homes don't get a SLA.

> Great writers can just sit down and write amazing text.

Very few great writers can. Dickens wrote prolifically because he was paid by the page (actually, he published in 32 page installments, so he was paid for each 32 pages); which may be why he's so controversial. They often edit a lot to improve the structure of their work (unless they publish in instalments).

Justin Frankel (Winamp, Gnutella) on The Setup
Maybe I'm alone in thinking this, but I find the article version to be much more faithful to "no elaborate logic or clever variable names." Most programmers are intimately familiar with for loops and the 'i' index variable convention by now, and also wouldn't have trouble deciphering a simple one-liner like that push, but it's still more obscure than the original.

To single out for loops in particular, they've always struck me as a little too obfuscated and messy compared to the benefits they provide. It's a large, awkward word that nevertheless remains a dependable part of everyone's vocabulary, so we let it stick around. But should we?

It does, assuming your ARM host is at least ARMv6 or v7 (v5 doesn't deal with unaligned accesses and QEMU userspace mode doesn't do anything special with guest binary unaligned accesses, so they appear as host unaligned accesses).

QEMU's i386 userspace mode emulation is a bigger problem -- most notably it doesn't handle multithreaded guest binaries (to an even bigger extent than QEMU's general issues with multithreaded guest binaries).

None of these are insurmountable problems; it's just that nobody so far has cared enough about them to put in the time to develop fixes and get them through code review on the mailing list. Patches welcome :-)

Why do you enjoy programming?

The feeling that you could create something which has a sort of personality (program behavior), something that can evolve rapidly (next version, program collected more and more data), something that can reach millions of people in few seconds across the globe (hmmm... this depends on the type of program you wrote). All this is just amazing, there is no other creative field in the world which can have all these together. NOTE: For me programming is not about just 'coding', it is much more then that, it is a way of thinking, a way of creativity.

Do you do anything in particular to make it fun?

Keep learning. I just keep learning new stuff (programming languages, platforms etc). Almost 95% of worlds programmer build so called CRUD applications, which are your typical web/native apps which does these CRUD operations. This kind of programming is very very boring but that's what most programming jobs want you to do, unless you are very lucky to be working on some RnD project.
You can make bitcoin a legitimate payment mechanism. Despite the advertised anonymity it's fairly easy to track down a particular identity from the web of transactions. If people moved on mass into bitcoin it would make their financial history pretty impossible to hide.
> What's the difference between showing adverts on the next page or adverts further down the same page?

If you are selling views, that will not wash with the advertiser as you can't reliably tell if the user has scrolled to see the lower adverts (whereas you can easily see if they clicked to see page two).

Of course even now your stats are going to over-count already (the ad may stil count as a view if there was an error on the ad server, or if the user had a proxy or plugin that blocked it (depending how that blocking is done), and so on) but that particular source of uncertainty is already accepted as an unavoidable consequence of the way the tech works, where the advertisers will see the "can't really tell if they saw the lower one" issue as a solved problem: just put the lower content and adverts on a new page.
Great work on putting the site together - I like the concept and it all fits together in terms of reporting and finding items so nice work! I did find an oyster card the day so I've reported that missing...

Even a family business often involves several people investing. I don't think a two-founder business that didn't take outside investment is a red flag, but a one-founder business is.

Causality doesn't really matter in terms of putting of customers/investors/employees; if not taking outside investment is correlated with bad things, people will avoid you if you don't take outside investment, whichever direction the causal arrow runs.

I'm not going to claim up-to-date in-depth knowledge of the PHP ecosystem since my daily work ended in the 4/5 transition era, 6 years ago. So PHP is loads better, I'm sure, but I've seen the announcements of new features such as namespacing and closures, and it's clear that this stuff is shoehorned into the language and good use of these features is not ingrained into PHP culture.

In the case of rails, beyond the easily copyable superficialities of the MVC pattern, simple ORM and HTTP helper methods, what you have underneath is the elegance of the ruby OO model.

The ruby OO model with its mixins, implicit metaclass (eigenclass), and dynamic nature (ie. class definitions are just executable code), and standard functional features like lambdas w/ closures are all designed into the language in a very elegant way and this basic model has been more or less stable for the nearly 20 years of ruby's existence.

This means ruby code has a more consistent style and set of powerful idioms over time. Obviously there's a lot more shit ruby code getting written these days then there used to be, and modern PHP has a ton of power that can be leveraged very elegantly. However if you look at the corpi of popular open source ruby code vs popular open source PHP code over the years, you find a much higher bar of quality in the ruby code. Some of the attraction to the average rubyist is aesthetic, but that's not the whole story.

I think one of the problems with it not being true open source is that they are selling a commercial version @ the microsoft store for 14,950. I suspect this is why they choose this license.

You can use JS to tell how far the page has scrolled and therefore if an advert below the fold has been seen. They already do this on this particular site to only load images as they are needed.
> I don't think any author writes in linear, unidirectional process.

Yes, people do. On the extreme end you have the stream-of-consciousness style. E.g., on the road was written on a typewriter with a series of sheets of paper joined together to avoid interruptions. I also think I remember Neal Stephenson saying in a talk that the writing should come out naturally, not sculpted word for word. When it doesn't, it's called writer's block; a programmer's block on the other hand is not really a thing.

Text is typically read linearly, so it's also easier to write that way. Code, except for the very simplest, jumps around from function to function so it's going to require some additional planning.
He confidently talks about the personal computer being a new medium of communication. Again, this is before networking was commonplace or there was any inkling of the Internet going mainstream. Yet he specifically talks about early e-mail systems and how it is re-shaping communication. He matter-of-factly states that when we have portable computers with radio links, people could be walking around anywhere and pick up their e-mail. Again, this is 1983, at least 20 years before the era of mobile computing.

While they weren't invented out of the blue, I don't think most of them come from meticulous observation of trends and market research.

Rather I think what happens is that some technology matures, and then some people that are familiar with that technology are able to recognize that it can be made into a real product that has market potential.

These people don't need market research, because from their standpoint, with their knowledge, it's "obvious". Eg. if you knew about the internet and email in the 80s, it would be obvious that it would replace telex at some point, even though you might be off with the timing of that transition.
You said it exactly: "They feel that they have been mistreated... It's a feeling and you can never control how someone feels.

That was 100% "feelings" as well. Not professional.

Those are all nice, but as a long-time PHP dev, the only way to make PHP truly better is to do a Python-style hard version bump. Rip off the band-aid, so to speak. Create an entirely new, consistent, object- or namespace-oriented standard library to replace the mess that exists now. The majority could just be wrappers for existing code, which is fine but just inconsistently named and parameterized. Then fix the terrible namespacing implementation, consolidate the jumble of operators (::, ->, ., +, etc.), add some syntactic sugar to objects (getters and setters?), add native Unicode support, and call it all PHP X or something.

There's much to be said for backwards compatibility, and PHP does that really well; but there's also much to be said for a new generation built with the mistakes of the past in mind.

I actually really like PHP despite its flaws. It gives the programmer easy, deep control over HTTP output, it's easy to install on new servers, it's easy to deploy (no compilation, just rsync everything!), it has decent built-in templating (if you can learn the quirks), it's OSS, it has rich libraries, rich documentation, and a rich community. But it's also deeply flawed and it deserves a break from the past.

My ideal sort of web language would be something with C# syntax and libraries but with PHP-style OSS-ness, simplicity in output and compilation, and expressiveness in HTML. That would be nice!
